Title:

Transgenic fat-1 Mice as a Model for n-3 and n-6 PUFA Modulation of Intestinal Cancer

Key words:

omega-3, omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids

Research Institution:

Strang-Cornell Cancer Research Laboratory

Location:

New York

Researcher:

Sergio A Lamprecht

Project Description:

This study examined the effects of omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on the development of intestinal and colon tumours in a transgenic mouse model that can convert omega-6 PUFAs to omega-3 PUFAs.
